Why these numbers

  • Live-in + FHB: 5% Deposit Scheme path is available when within the price cap.
  • New dwelling would change FHOG credit by +$40,000.
  • 5% Scheme: cash $45,959 (−$82,500 vs current) · LVR 95% · no LMI typically
  • 10% + LMI: cash $73,459 (−$55,000 vs current) · LVR 90% · LMI typically applies
  • FHOG: NT: $50k HomeGrown grant for new builds (until Sep 2027); $10k for established · credit $10,000

NT: no FHB stamp duty concession (HomeGrown grant is separate)

LVR ≤ 80% — LMI not typically required.

Estimate only. Verify stamp duty with the relevant state revenue office. LMI premiums are lender-specific and not included in cash funds to complete (usually capitalised). 5% Deposit Scheme eligibility must be confirmed with a participating lender and Housing Australia postcode caps.

Settlement cash checklist

Prefills duty and fees from the estimate. Tick what you will fund in cash, edit soft costs, and aim for cleared funds before settlement. Not a conveyancer statement.
